It's definitely a reality of the delays. I'm quite convinced of that. In fact, last year we did make a recommendation to have an integrated human resources strategy for access to information professionals. This has not been acted upon.
I know that the Treasury Board Secretariat is developing competencies to assist institutions, but in most of the institutions that we have reviewed, that we speak to on a regular basis, they are almost constantly in a staffing process and that takes them away from their job of answering access to information requests or consultations.
I would recommend--and I did recommend again this year--that there be a central role for human resources for access to information professionals at the federal level. This is clearly an administrative step that can be taken. It would make a difference for the regime as a whole.
